INFANTICIDE: December 27, 1902 Marylebone, London, England Baby Girl



On December 27, 1902, a baby was found wrapped up in a parcel beside the Great Central Railway at Rossmore Road Bridge in Marylebone. The infant had been born alive and healthy. It was found that she had a bruise over the right eye and her nostrils flattened. It's believed that something was pushed onto her face to cause suffocation leading to her death. 

The coroner added that the baby may have been a victim of baby farming and was part of the illegal disposal of infants at the time.
